I thought there was a notice about too much electoralism in the news mega? Is that only for the old one? Because I'm tired of seeing it here too ngl, especially if we're just grabbing random YouTubers to back up the claim that he's secretly the second coming of Lenin.

Yeah this is pretty on the nose. A lot of jobs even if they aren't outright bullshit also are downtime heavy and you may just be needed around in case you're needed suddenly within a few minutes but you're expected to be productive 100% of the time even when your core function isn't really necessary.

That was arguably their most influential program, but I don't know if I would qualify it as their starting point. I know it's discussed in Revolutionary Suicide how part of their literal incitation was the pigs being pigs about traffic rules that endangered kids and them basically hamming in a stop sign while arme,d but my recollection is fuzzy.

I'll let the fucking muskrat brain chip me if I can permafilter the work unconstitutional and never perceive it again.

My horseshoe theory friend would never let me hear the end of it

Please tell me your other weak-ass reasons why you're correct to sit on your ass.

Have you considered I'm an actual infant with just enough motor skills to smash a keyboard but still can't organize? Checkmate tankie

In all seriousness, good post!

I like to joke about my inner Third-Worldist but think a large contingent of Western leftists has theirs constantly buck for control and frankly win. I can understand some curiosity in a strategic sense but it mostly comes off as waiting for Superman to save the day and wondering why he's late

I was shitposting but that is actually interesting and useful contextualization, thanks for the info.

It was the most economical choice

Ngl the dinosaur bit tripped me up until I recalled wonderful could be indicative of astonishment (USain reporting for duty! ) then everything clicked and flowed pretty seamlessly.

I don't know how none of the people in the excerpts picked up that it wasn't literally about a dinosaur in the street (or the fact they only recognized it was an animal and not a dinosaur, even when I had no fucking clue what it was meant to imply I still understood it was figurative. The fact none of them realized it was setting a scene was even more asinine. I felt illiterate reading this fact I needed a dictionary for some of the terms was disappointing (I read too much low-effort fantasy slop), and think the bar for "competent" was far too low.

I took some English in college and none of it really required older texts though so I could see how it could be overwhelming. Frankly, I am mildly concerned that I wouldn't have been able to parse it if not for the fact I studied philosophy and their prose is so much worse (in the difficulty and often in the enjoyability as well). Thinking of my fellow friends, I have I believe 2 that would probably be able to read this competently though most of my friends from other countries I know definitely could parse this, including many that learned English in their late teens.

I'm young too, so this means I likely had the same or worse literary education as everyone interviewed, the only difference would be my major and the fact I do read for leisure (or as a hobby for the gamers in the chat). (Edit: I also know a bit of a second language and can read texts in it but my proficiency is still low so I am used to strain while reading, maybe there is an acclimation effect there?)

You do not have the cards

I hate the constant guilt tripping of certain sectors where they try to weaponize the harm (or sometimes mere inconvenience) of you not slaving away for them on their terms. Maybe, if it is so urgent, pony up the cash, and things can get back to normal faster!
